even if its 'kinder to your engine' the extra you spend each time you top up you may as well just save and buy a new engine with in the long run

I find mine gets a lot more pops and bangs with 99 over 95, it also idles better with the cams, and I get better mpg, I try to use it once every month for a tank as said above it helps clean the engine, I also use it for trackdays as the car seems to get a lower sound reading on it...

i use v power all the time if i can, seems to last longer than ordinary fuel as well. two weeks ago i had to put momentum 99 in, then bp ultimate and then back to v power. The car certainly felt more responsive as soon as i put it in. Definitely notice the pops and bangs on it

Sainsburys super unleaded seems to be good for the car and its cheap
